That's one reason why I think the BIG ones will do some AJAX as flavour

desktop, desktop is cheaper and easier to deliver. For the big ones is
also a question of pride and image, like "Hey Microsoft, Google is
winning over you, saw their online apps? You can't do that, you're
lame!!!". The Big players are not only in it for the money, but they
must also, avoid loosing face. I just want to deliver nice software,
it's not a matter of pride.
The plot tickens.
Perhaps thick as merde.
I found the comments at Winer's site more interesting than the "leaked"
memos:

Microsoft is bigger than any of the news agencies reporting on these
memos. And strange as it may seem, even bigger than Dave Winer, who
posts the actual proprietary documents.
Why do you suppose Microsoft would allow such "private" information to
remain publicly available?
I doubt it's because the largest and most predatory software company in
history can't find a lawyer to serve a simple cease-and-desist.
That web apps will become an increasingly important "also" at Microsoft
and everywhere else is a given. But replacing all apps? Somehow I
think not, and I suspect Microsoft's clever marketing move is as much a
distraction as anything else, consistent with the company's demonstrated
character and history....
